Birth Father
Although Reddit user aaareed had been adopted, he was pretty bummed to learn that his birth mother had passed away. But he took comfort in some of her belongings which he had received after her death. But while sifting through some photos, he discovered that his birth father had been with him all along.
“I was adopted from South America to the US when I was a toddler and have no memory of my birth parents. I had an older friend/mentor I met in college; I knew him as Mike. When I learned that my birth mother passed away, I got a few of her belongings including some pictures. Who was in these pictures? Mike. He was my birth father.”
